Safeguarding NDC Implementation: Building resilience into energy systems
This short brief aims to enhance awareness and highlight the importance of integrating weather and climate-related risk into the planning stages of energy infrastructure development.
As countries develop long-term, low-carbon development strategies and pursue mitigation measures as part of their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), it is essential to increase understanding about the need to identify and assess climate-related risks when appraising new energy projects or managing infrastructure portfolios. Taking into consideration the potential risks of climate change will improve the response rate of the energy system to environmental stresses while safeguarding investments into mitigation efforts and the integrity of energy assets and systems.

Curbing fuel subsidies is only the first step out of energy crisis
Indonesia’s fuel subsidies have been a recurring problem for the country’s economy. For years, they have been weighing on the state budget, providing unjust support for fossil fuels and slowing the much-awaited clean energy transition. But skyrocketing global energy prices could require the country to allocate a colossal Rp 700 trillion (US$46.6 billion) for energy subsidies this year – more than four times the budgeted amount.
